Women of Web 2.0 Show 61

Join Women of Web 2.0 as we interview Peggy Petrilli, the turn around principal. Welcome Kathy Shields as she holds down the seat for Jen. Jen is on sabbatical for the month. This is a fascinating conversation about assessment driving instruction, small group focused instruction. As always the chat room was rocking.

21:55:51 Vicki Davis : Some of my bright kids get mad at me becase if they don't put forth 100%, I call them on it and put a comment on their progress report -- They say "Mrsl Vicki you messed up my report card" and I say -- "You are not doing your best -- you're not bringing your notebook to class or aren't doing your homework" - etc.

21:55:53 sharonp : @cathyjo - we are BIG into differentiation here in QC

21:56:07 Cathyjo : and MANY r giving up due to lack of 21st century tools being used
